Chapin Sisters Wash Away Lyrics

The face behind the glass
is staring out at me
it says stop looking back
but I can't help what I see
so let the water run into the sink
and wash these stains off me

I scrub at my skin 'til it's so raw I might break through
but this water won't wash away the day that I met you

I'm gonna iron out
all the crinkles that you made
then I'll bleach away
any echo of your name yeah I will soak you out- erase the trail
cut you from my finger nail

I scrub at my skin 'til it's so raw I might break through
but this water won't wash away the day that I met you

Hang me from a wire
The water's getting higher
Higher
Higher

I scrub at my skin 'til it's so raw I might break through
but this water won't wash away the day that I met you
